About Eliska
Eliska Finlay is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and a BACP accreditation. She works with adults who are managing anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, ADHD and career-related pressure. Her approach is calm and reflective, aimed at helping people feel steadier when life feels overwhelming.
Eliska creates a warm, non-judgemental space for people to talk honestly about what is hard. She listens for patterns in feelings and behaviour, and helps clients name how past experiences may influence the present.
Background and approach
Conversations are practical as well as exploratory so people can start to try different ways of coping. Sessions can focus on managing anxious thoughts, reducing burnout, building self-compassion, or planning next steps in work and life. She also supports people through grief, relationship strain, and major life changes.
The work is paced to match each person’s needs and energy. Eliska draws on psychodynamic ideas alongside evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand recurring patterns. The goal is to increase clarity and choice rather than offering quick fixes.
Progress is measured in small, meaningful changes that feel achievable. Therapy can feel daunting at first, and Eliska recognises that taking the first step takes courage. She aims to make the process as straightforward and supportive as possible, helping people build tools they can use between sessions.
Approaches that guide online counselling
Eliska uses psychodynamic ideas to help people notice recurring emotional patterns and links with past experience. This approach supports people who want to understand why certain feelings recur and how they shape choices now.She also uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help manage symptoms such as anxiety and low mood. These techniques focus on practical skills for handling distressing thoughts, improving sleep and coping with workplace stress or burnout.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy itself. Eliska works collaboratively to identify which methods feel most useful for the client's goals, preferences and situation. Together they review what is helping and adapt the plan over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer, deeper session is needed. Phone sessions are useful for a quicker check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit people who prefer typing to speaking or who need short, frequent support between sessions.
These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work during transitions or relocation. Registered or accredited professionals, including this counsellor, can use these formats to tailor care to individual needs.
